>>48535506No. The whole nature of the game mode with small teams, protect shields, and long swapping time limits make the game feel so dependent on just "Does your lead beat the other guy's lead?" So many of the matches I play (granted, I literally did not PVP prior to this year's Halloween cup because I've never bothered trying to get a good team together) feel deterministic on just whether or not my lead is stronger against theirs, because if it is, I instantly gain such a strong advantage over my opponent, whether that be a shield advantage, extra charge, swapping advantage, etc.
Throw the laggy as fuck nature of PVP on top of that and you have a really dogshit mode in my opinion.
I do agree with
>>48536170 though. The Phantump line is one of my favorite Pokemon lines ever so I'm glad they can actually see some usage in something. I appreciate it when lesser known Pokemon get time to shine in spinoff titles.
